Anywhere in Knoxville worth visiting?

Post by Metalcrack »

As the title describes, are there any good shops in Knoxville worth my time to visit? I'll be down there for a business trip in two weeks, and I thought I could do some browsing. Game Land and Game Haven came up in Google, so I might be able to check them out while I'm there.

If you find anything let me know because I've got a close friend that lives out there. I don't think he'd know much about game shops, but if I visit him I'd like to check out what's there.

I could get some names of good wing joints if you're interested though.

It does need some stuff added to it for the South, but I suppose I'll do it when I have time.

Its a cool site someone posted on here a few months ago. It is very helpful and mostly up-to date. Obviously it needs everyone to post their local stores and reviews on them. Spread the word though, as someone who travels all the time (working for an airline,) it is a great way to check out stores in other cities.

There is a pretty big flea market just outside of town, heading out via I-40 East. It is right on the Interstate (on the right side of the road if you are on I-40 East). I went to it about a year or so ago and there were a couple of established vintage game dealers, as well as a large area for anybody and everybody to set up on a table. Worth checking out.
